Chapter 786: Sword World
Translator: jinzeffect
The Sword Emperor Mo Hen was 3rd ranked on the Great Emperor Rankings and 1st ranked on the Sword Emperor Rankings. He was the only person who could retreat unscathed after crossing moves with the Great Emperor Rankings’ 1st ranker, the Heaven Emperor. In terms of strength, he was already comparable with low-tier demonic beast overlords a few dozen years ago. Right now, he probably had the strength to kill regular low-tier demonic beast overlords.
Among the people present, apart from the Sword Sovereign, only a few had seen the Sword Emperor. This was the first time for everyone else to meet the Sword Emperor in person. In the past, they had only heard of the Sword Emperor’s name and seen his portrait.
“This person is the Sword Emperor?”
Tang Xing, Murong Youyu, and the others were sensing great pressure.
If the Sword Sovereign gave off a feeling of a sovereign within a sword, then the Sword Emperor gave off a feeling of a god within a sword. Of course, this god within a sword was only referring to the Law Phase Realm, not including the Soul Merge Realm.
“I didn’t expect for him to cultivate the Union of Man and Sword to this extent.”
Li Fuchen’s discerning eyes had an easy time to see that the Sword Emperor was on the path of the Union of Man and Sword.
The Union of Man and Sword was also called the solipsism sword dao.
The solipsism sword dao was a very extreme sword dao. People who cultivate this sword dao treated themselves as the sword. There was no longer any difference between the man and the sword.
“Greeting to the sword saint.”
In front of the Tiger Fang Sword Saint, the Sword Emperor Mo Hen didn’t dare to be presumptuous and greeted respectfully.
The Tiger Fang Sword Saint nodded, “Since everyone is here, I shall open the Sword World. I hope that all of you will be able to gain something in the Sword World.”
While speaking, the Tiger Fang Sword Saint’s hand flipped and a sword-shaped token appeared.
Swish.
The sword-shaped token blended into the void. Immediately after, a sword-shaped door of light appeared.
“Go in then!” The Tiger Fang Sword Saint yelled out.
In response, everyone skimmed into the Sword World.
…
The Sword World was the sacred land of the Swordsmen Guild.
Legends said that it was created by the Swordsmen Guild’s first guildmaster, the Unbounded Doyen.
In the most primitive Sword World, apart from extremely distinctive sword dao law, there was nothing else.
Perhaps it was due to the Unbounded Doyen’s unbounded sword dao contained within the Sword World, after countless years, the Sword World had absorbed most of the sword intent. Once the sword intent set roots in the Sword World, it started to absorb the similar sword intents in heaven and earth. Over time, the Sword World formed all sorts of sword daos, like the sharp metal sword dao, greenwood sword dao, soft water sword dao, blazing flame sword dao, thick earth sword dao, stars sword dao, sovereign sword dao, heart sword dao, emotionless sword dao, solipsism sword dao…
No matter how rare a sword dao was, it would be within the Sword World.
Of course, the rarer the sword dao, the harder it was to develop. After all, for a sword dao to develop in the Sword World, it would need to absorb the sword intent. However, if a cultivator of rare sword daos visited the Sword World, how could the Sword World absorb the sword intent?
Among the sword daos, the strongest and the rarest sword dao was the Unbounded Doyen’s unbounded sword dao.
The unbounded sword dao was a recognized supreme rate sword dao. Back then the Unbounded Doyen was still around, no one was a match for him in the Deep Blue Plane. Even in the universe, the Unbounded Doyen built his own reputation and was one of the strongest experts in the universe.
When most of the later generations entered the Sword World, they all had the same objective. Firstly, they want to make use of the Sword World to comprehend the sword dao law. Secondly, they would look for similar sword daos to strengthen their own sword daos. Thirdly, they would search for the unbounded sword dao to personally witness the power of the unbounded sword dao.
Inside a dusky spatial zone, Li Fuchen and the others suddenly descended.
“This is the Sword World? Such a distinct sword dao law!”
This was the first visit to the Sword World for Murong Youyu and she was very surprised.
If the outside world’s sword dao law was hidden within the void and had a veil which was very hard to lift, then the sword dao law in the Sword World was simply exposed and easily captured.
When comprehending sword dao law in this place, it was simply easy for these people.
“Sometimes it might not be a good thing for the sword dao law to be too distinct.” The Heart Sword Sovereign gave a casual comment.
“Why?” Yuwen Haojie couldn’t understand.
The Mountain River Sword Emperor Song Shanhe explained, “If the sword dao law is too distinct, the initial progress will be very fast, but as time passes, you will be at a loss. Don’t ask me why, I don’t know either. This time, I am here purely to search for similar sword daos to strengthen my own sword dao.”
Li Fuchen said, “It is very simple. Things that are too easy to obtain will not provide a deep comprehension and wouldn’t be branded deep in the heart. In other words, it isn’t able to blend completely into your sword dao. It is as though you picked up a treasure along the way, but that only means you are lucky, not capable. Because you can’t pick up treasures everyday. It is very difficult to comprehend sword dao law in the outside world, but the process is actually the formation of our sword dao. Inside the Sword World, that process is taken away.”
The golden talisman allowed Li Fuchen to be successful in every difficulty, but he didn’t entirely rely on it. Right now, even if he lost the golden talisman, he was confident he could still reach the pinnacle state of sword dao. His potential wouldn’t be weaker than the strongest experts in the universe. The golden talisman was just paving a broad road for him, but if he was incapable, everything would be fleeting.
Hearing the answer, the Sword Sovereign, Emotionless Sword Emperor, and the Heart Sword Sovereign looked at Li Fuchen with astonished eyes.
No wonder Li Fuchen was able to obtain 1st place in the Swordsmen Tournament. This extraordinary comprehension ability was definitely superior to most people.
“Doesn’t this mean that entering the Sword World isn’t as beneficial as we think?” Tang Xing raised a doubt.
The Sword Sovereign laughed and said, “That isn’t true too. As long as your sword dao and mental state is powerful enough, you can comprehend sword dao law in the Sword World for a long period of time. Take it as though your body is a bottle of ink and the Sword World’s sword dao law is clear water. With enough ink, you will be able to contain more clear water and maintain the color of the ink. The Sword World only opens once every twenty years and it will only open for one month. If you are powerful enough, you can comprehend sword dao law here for the entire month and you will be fine. Of course, if you aren’t powerful enough, after three to five days, you might be in a perplexed state. If you continue comprehending, it will only do more harm than good.”
“So that is the case.” Murong Youyu was enlightened. As she expected, there was nothing perfect in this world.
Despite the case, the Sword World definitely had more advantages than disadvantages for them.
Swish!
Inside the dusky Sword World, there would be flashes of light.
Within the flashes of light, there were stunning sword intents.
Tss!
A golden stream of light passed through the group. There was a slicing sensation that made the body numb.
“This is the sharp metal sword dao.” Yuwen Haojie was shocked.
He had a feeling if he forcefully blocked that golden stream of light, he would be sliced into two.
After entering the Sword World, everyone quickly split up.
“I wonder how much Sword World’s law is able to improve my sword dao.”
Li Fuchen found a random place to sit and started to comprehend the sword dao law within the Sword World.
The sword dao law in the Sword World was too distinct and just a slight moment was enough for Li Fuchen to feel his sword dao law comprehension increasing exponentially. Once the sword dao law comprehension increased, his sword arts’ power had also increased. Be it his Meteor Sword Art, Void Heaven Sword Art, or Primary Extreme Sword Art.
One day, three days, five days…
Li Fuchen was like a thirsty giant beast in the desert and was frenziedly absorbing sword dao law in the Sword World. After a period of time, the area Li Fuchen occupied actually developed a sword dao phenomenon. It caused many sword dao lights to be attracted over.
